    Default Good measuring devices


    For near 40 years I've used the Golden Rule to measure my fish. I need a couple more devices. I know some of the drop-in type are not accurate due to the fish not sliding down far enough. Which ones are good and accurate ?

    I’ve used a Hawg Trough for years. It is accurate.....used in KBF Bass Tourneys. Mine is now 10 years old and really need a new one. They come in green and white.

    Love mine. Bought mine from Austin Kayak though. I think they all the same just different logos applied.

    I use the frabill crappie checker if I’m just checking to see if they are 9” minimum size. Fish that I know are bigger than 10-11” I use a golden rule.

    I think the "best" measuring device to have is whichever one the local F&W guys use to measure your catch. In my case, that's a Golden Rule ... which is what I have & use, and is one of the first things I take out of the compartment & put on the deck before I even start fishing.

    You can always cut the longer Golden Rule to the length you want. And that pink checker is the only on that a thick slab will fit in.

    Sorry... I guess I said that wrong. My Golden Rules begin measuring at 10". I used them in bass tournaments. They used to make a smaller one that started at 8 or 9". Can't find these yet.

    Did you see these ketch devices? They are aluminum.
